Prince George Charge appoints Dr. Charles E. Crocker as it's new Pastor effective July 1st, 2026.

Born and raised in Hopewell, Virginia, Pastor Chuck has a deep love for the Tri-Cities community and a lifelong commitment to serving the local church. With nearly four decades of pastoral ministry experience, he brings seasoned leadership, practical wisdom, and a passion for helping people grow in their faith.

Pastor Chuck earned a Bachelor of Arts in Religion from Emmanuel University. He later completed a Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.) at Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, where he was honored with the Amy and Clyde Hickerson Greek Award, the B. Elmo Scoggin Hebrew Award, and the Crouch Leadership Award. His master's thesis, The Satan-Figure in Mark 1–5, reflected his early interest in New Testament studies and biblical theology.

Continuing his academic journey, Pastor Chuck earned a Master of Theology (Th.M.) from Union Presbyterian Seminary, where he studied apocalyptic literature under the mentorship of Brian Blount. His thesis, Prophetic Speech and Empowered Community, later served as the foundation for his first monograph, published in 2020.

Pastor Chuck also completed a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Renewal Theology with a concentration in Apocalyptic Literature from Regent University School of Divinity. His scholarly interests include biblical Greek, the Gospels, the Book of Revelation, and apocalyptic theology. In addition to his pastoral ministry, he currently teaches graduate and doctoral-level courses in New Testament, Greek, and biblical studies at both Regent University and Emmanuel University, where he enjoys mentoring the next generation of Christian leaders and scholars.

Above all, Pastor Chuck treasures his family. He is married to his lifelong love, Margie, and together they have three daughters—Meg, Meredith, and Maddy. They have one granddaughter, Zee.

Please join us on Sunday, July 5th at 9:30 AM at Newville, and 11:10 AM at Salem for Pastor Chuck's first sermon. We hope to see you there!

Annual Conference is now in swing! Stay tuned for further updates from your Charge Delegate Brandon Brockwell!

As over 2,000 clergy members, lay members, staff and guests gather for the 244th Session of The Virginia Annual Conference later this week, we pray that God be among us: might we perceive God's voice and not our own, may we be open to the movement of the Spirit, may be be changed and go forth once more committed in sharing God's love with all we meet.
